Ten things to be outlawed while behind a wheel.

Texting and driving is illegal in California, yet almost every day I see a driver at the stop light looking down, most likely trying to send a quick text to someone. The question that comes to my mind is how did we used to get by without texting and smart phones?

While it is fairly obvious why texting and driving is distracting, dangerous and now illegal there are a few other things that drivers do today that should be outlawed. Here is my top ten list of things we do behind the wheel that should be banned.

11)   Putting on makeup while driving

Have you ever passed by a gorgeous blond in a BMW only to notice her applying mascara and holding up traffic

22) Eating and driving

Have you ever eaten a taco and drank a soda while driving with your leg and have a half of taco spill out on your white shirt?

33)   Watching DVD’s, Netflix on I phone or I pad while driving

I do not know whose bright idea was it to install DVD players in our vehicles. I can understand it installed in the back of a minivan or SUV for our kids to watch, but I have seen on more than one occasion drivers watching their DVD’s in bumper to bumper traffic on a freeway.

44)    Getting directions on your GPS while Driving

Have you ever thought why your navigation system search shuts down as you start moving? That’s right they don’t want you to get directions while you drive.

55)    Shaving and driving

Driven to succeed providers, men have been known to multitask to save time. Beware shaving smoking and driving at the same time could be hazardous to your health.

66)   Listening to music with headphones on

Listening to music while driving is widely acceptable recreation. However listening to music through headphones will prevent you from hearing other drivers blowing their horns and could cause an accident.

77)  Blow-drying your hair with a car heater while driving

Have you ever seen a lady using her car heater as a blow dryer?

88)  Arguing with your spouse

My wife is a back seat driver. It could be very annoying, but more than that it has a potential to create a road hazard argument

99)   Feeding your toddler on a back seat while driving

Believe it or not I have even seen a lady breast feed her baby while driving.                  Having your dog in your lap while driving

10) Having your little puddle named Rex in your lap while driving to the store might seem cute to you, but it has a potential to cause a fatal accident.

Do you have anything to add to my list? I would really like your input.
